Location right by the beach made it easy to enjoy stunning sunsets. The one bedroom self-contained cabin came with everything needed for cooking, including a grill, which was perfect for our meals. Clean and tidy space with a comfortable couch and a nice patio to relax. However, check-in was a bit confusing as it took place at a different location. Also, the absence of screens on all the windows allowed insects to come in, making it difficult to enjoy fresh air at times. The warm temperature inside the unit was uncomfortable until the evening breeze kicked in. WiFi connection was also weak, occasionally hindering communication. Overall, it felt like a cozy getaway, but some simple improvements could make it even better.

close proximity to pancake rocks, spacious cabins, concrete seawall

Extensive renovations needed for the cottages!!! Hearing a pump outside the room every 30 seconds is annoying!!! Limited grocery options require planning ahead for meals!!! Prepare for creaky floorboards and light WiFi!!!

The spacious unit had a large table perfect for cooking and enjoying meals together while enjoying the nearby beautiful nature scenery.

Dude, our stay was, like, super chill in this cozy, huge cabin. We had the coolest time grilling outside and just vibin' out with nature. It was really nice having that spacious area to unwind and kick back, but the check-in was kinda confusing. Wish they had made that easier, ya know?

The beachfront location provided stunning views of the coast with easy access to the beach. The spacious accommodations, specifically the One Bedroom Self-contained Cabin, catered to all our needs for a comfortable stay.

The check-in process was frustrating, requiring a trek to a nearby tavern to pick up keys, which could use clearer signage to direct guests. The accommodations felt dated with some issues like uneven floors and a cold interior, not living up to the expectations set by the price tag.

A peaceful retreat by the sea

Waking up to the sounds of crashing waves was unforgettable. Our spacious unit had direct access to the beach, making evening strolls and sunsets a daily delight.

The Wi-Fi was a bit slow and tricky at times, which can be a hassle if you need to stay connected during your stay. Also, check-in involved a bit of wandering to the nearby restaurant.

Clean and comfortable stay

spacious cabin but check-in was confusing

The cabin was spacious and well-equipped for our needs. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, ideal for relaxation. Being close to nature added charm to our stay, with a beautiful backdrop that enhanced the experience.

The check-in process felt confusing since we had to collect keys from a nearby pub.

the location is great being walking distance to the pancake rocks. wifi was a bit sketcy.

My stay at Punakaiki Beachfront Motels was delightful! The beachfront location allowed me to enjoy breathtaking views and hear the soothing sounds of the waves. The staff were kind, offering me a bottle of milk for my coffee and insights on local attractions, making my visit all the more enjoyable.

Check-in process could be clearer.

I stayed in the Three-Bedroom Family Unit as a solo traveler for one night. The room was super spacious and cozy, with soft beds that felt like clouds. I loved hearing the waves from my room, and the air conditioning made it comfy after a hot day. The shower was a bit confusing at first, but overall, it was a nice place to kick back and relax. Just wish the view was better without those steps to climb!

the garden area is beautiful and well-maintained. easy access to the beach made morning walks delightful. staff were friendly and accommodating, and we appreciated the option to cook our meals.

the wi-fi could be faster 📶.
